Yay, a return to form! This is the White Collar I love. And actually, I thought Laura Vandervoort was a pleasant surprise on this show, but that might just be because she was so horrific on V.

I think this show is Bunheads firing on all cylinders - each of the four girls acted like actual teenagers, and I…

Although I am undoubtedly much closer in age to Foster, I also agree that Ginny is very attractive. If I were back in high school, she'd definitely be the girl I was longing for from a distance.

I'm kind of surprised the opening credits have been getting flack. I personally love them and look forward to them every week. In fact, I think they kind of promise a better show than we've been getting, for the most part (although this week was fantastic.)
